Tmnt forever
 

Ok so I was just thinking about tmnt forever and I had a few questions.

First one, why dint they use the nm turtles?

Second, what would it have been like if they did?

Last, do you think you would have enjoyed it as much, more or less?

Are you seriously asking why? Do you realize how much work would be involved?

TNM was all Kevin's doing. Laird wouldn't touch it if he wanted... which he probably couldn't possibly be paid enough to want.

If it was all Kevin's doing why are there pics of Laird on set with a huge smile on his face?

People were beaming with joy on the set of Batman and Robin too...

Because Laird wasn't a fan of Venus and probably didn't want to ruin the show with that. Plus, he knew that a lot of fans didn't like NM. If they had been there, I would probably not like it unless it was just a small cameo. I wasn't a fan of NM.

Well exactly. It's easy to say something sucked and you hated it after it's already come out and the general consensus is that it's horrible.

Was there an image of that version of the turtles among all of the others?

I dont see why it would have been that much more work. Even if they just animated them for a minute or two.

I dont believe they even showed them when the shredder had the turtles chained up and all the turtle universes where been shown.

I know a lot of people dont like nm but it was a part of there history. Kind of felt like we got cheated by them not showing them.

The Next Mutation Turtles weren't even shown in the "Multi-verse" pictures they showed.
'Nuff said.

why weren't the Christmas special turtles there, or the CootS Turtles...

Now I'm just picturing the Mirage Turtles meeting the CootS Turtles and I had a good laugh! :tlol:

Haha! That would be awesome!!

Who's "we"? I'm glad those failiures werent shown. They shouldnt be considered a part of the canon.

We the fans.

Like I said I relies most don't like them, but there still a part of the history and lore that is tmnt. I mean when we write history books they don't leave out the parts that may not show humans in the best of ways. So why leave of a part of tmnt history?

It's a freaking TV show. Who cares (besides you)?

So, you have a differing opinion. Get over it, already. Harping on it gets you nowhere except on people's nerves.

I just wanted to see if there was a real reason why they left the nm out.
And if any one had thoughts on what it would of being like with them.

No crap it's a tv show in the same note I could say the turtles are made up so who cares about them. And You must becuase your on this forum. So why harp on me for wanting to know others thoughts on the matter?

I think that the official reason is Peter Laird doesn't like that series...at all. I mean, wants it buried for all eternity.

Hm, the writers really could have laid into that set of turtles.

You have a faulty understanding of the word "canon".

Was TNM popular at all? I remember it being gone rather quickly. The toys were cool, but thats as far as my opinion of that series goes. I think Los Luchadores had a longer season than TNM.

Lasted 23 episodes...though weren't 2 clip shows?

I've heard it was scoring better ratings than PR: In Space...but don't quote me on that.

It was a standard 26 episode season, but yeah 2 eps were clip shows, one being the series finale no less.

The show was basically canceled for a number of reasons. Probably due to the costly production and the fact that the TMNT fandom was all but dead by 1997.

Either way if it continued, Pokemon would have absolutely destroyed it by 1998.

Yea it was the number one show in it's time slot and number one kids show. I heard like you said cyber it was expensive to produce and since fox dint own the rights to it they where not making the money the wanted to so they canned it.

I guess it's just that the peeps don't want to acknowledge its existence.

Maybe. I just watched a little bit of it on youtube. It's just a strange series. And it's strange with almost no balance. It looks like the movies, but the scripts are as ridiculous as the 87 series. I mean, there's a villain who's a mutant gorilla that resembles a gangster from the 1940's.

^lol yeah pretty much I think if they went for a more serious tone and not such a ridiculous tone I think it would have been a lot better. I dont mean rediculously serious, something like Avatar the Last Airbender.

That would have been...completly impossible on a Saban budget

Yeah, I didn't miss an actual appearance but they at least deserved a spot there.

No they didnt.

So somehow being more serious effects the budget? I guess you never saw an episode of Power Rangers from Space-Wild Force.

Indeed, what made it really cheesy was the sound effects...which i'm sure cost next to nothing.

Yes I think we all did
:P

Why not? They're as legal an iteration as any other. Just thinking "it was stupid" isn't really a reason not to give them a throwback in that scene.

I don't know why people get all worked up about them not having a picture in the "multiverse scene". There was a handful of other TMNT depictions that didn't make it either.

Granted, the other missing ones were a bit more obscure than The Next Mutation, but still. You can either pretend they were there, just not on camera, or just lump them in with the Movie-verse.

Allow me to use your own logic against you:

So following that logic the same applies to "the next mutation" and it deserved a spot in the multiverse scene.
